Incorrect: The manager requested for a meeting.

Correct: The manager requested a meeting.

Explanation: The verb "request" does not require the preposition "for" because it
is a transitive verb, meaning it directly takes an object. Including "for" is
redundant.

Key Rule: Request = To ask for something (direct object).

Incorrect: He arrived to the office late.

Correct: He arrived at the office late.

Explanation: The verb "arrive" is followed by "at" when referring to specific

locations (except large areas like cities or countries, where "in" is used). Using
"to" is incorrect in this context.

Key Rule: Use "arrive at" for specific places and "arrive in" for large areas.

Incorrect: You can reach to me anytime via email.

Correct: You can reach me anytime via email.

Explanation: The verb "reach" does not require the preposition "to" because it
directly takes the object (the person being reached). Adding "to" is redundant.

Key Rule: Reach = To make contact with someone (direct object).

Incorrect: She is responsible to manage the project.

Correct: She is responsible for managing the project.

Explanation: The phrase "responsible for" is always followed by a noun or a

gerund (-ing form of the verb). Using the infinitive form "to manage" is incorrect
in this construction.​

Key Rule: Use "responsible for" + noun/gerund

Incorrect: They succeeded to complete the project.

Correct: They succeeded in completing the project.

Explanation: The phrase "succeeded in" is followed by a gerund (-ing form of the
verb) to indicate achieving success in something. Using the infinitive "to
complete" is incorrect.

Key Rule: Use "succeeded in" + gerund.

Incorrect: Everyone should do their best.

Correct: Everyone should do his or her best.

Explanation: The pronoun "everyone" is singular and should be paired with

singular pronouns "his" or "her". While "their" is often used in casual contexts for
gender neutrality, it is traditionally incorrect in formal usage.

Key Rule: Match singular pronouns like "everyone" with singular possessive
pronouns "his" or "her".

Incorrect: She did good on the project.

Correct: She did well on the project.

Explanation: "Good" is an adjective and cannot modify a verb (like "did"). The
appropriate adverb "well" should be used to describe how the action was
performed.
Key Rule: Use "good" as an adjective and "well" as an adverb to describe actions.

Incorrect: The report is due on next Monday.

Correct: The report is due next Monday.

Explanation: The preposition "on" is unnecessary when specifying days with

words like "next", "last", "this", or "every." Adding it is redundant and
grammatically incorrect.

Key Rule: Avoid prepositions like "on" before time indicators such as "next,"
"last," or "this."

Incorrect: Can you explain me the procedure?

Correct: Can you explain the procedure to me?

Explanation: The verb "explain" is followed by the object (what is being

explained) and then the indirect object (the person). The indirect object must be
preceded by "to" unless it comes before the direct object.

Key Rule: Use "explain [object] to [person]" or "explain to [person] [object]."

Incorrect: He is one of the best employee in the department.

Correct: He is one of the best employees in the department.

Explanation: The phrase "one of the best" refers to a group, so the plural form
"employees" must be used. Using the singular "employee" is incorrect here.

Key Rule: When using "one of the", follow it with a plural noun.
Incorrect: Each of the team members have contributed.
Correct: Each of the team members has contributed.

Explanation: The subject "Each" is singular, even though it refers to multiple

members. It should be paired with the singular verb "has" instead of "have."

Key Rule: Treat "each" as singular and match it with singular verbs.

Incorrect: She is more smarter than her colleague.

Correct: She is smarter than her colleague.

Explanation: The word "smarter" already indicates a comparative form. Adding

"more" is redundant and incorrect.

Key Rule: Do not use "more" with adjectives already in their comparative form
(e.g., smarter, better).

Incorrect: The reason is because we missed the deadline.

Correct: The reason is that we missed the deadline.

Explanation: The phrase "the reason is because" is redundant. Use "that" to

introduce the explanation after "the reason is."

Key Rule: Use "the reason is that", not "the reason is because."

Incorrect: Me and Sarah will attend the meeting.

Correct: Sarah and I will attend the meeting.
Explanation: When referring to yourself and others as the subject of a sentence,
use "I" (not "me") and place the other person’s name first for correctness and
politeness.

Key Rule: Use "I" as the subject and list others before yourself.

Incorrect: She didn't knew about the new process.

Correct: She didn't know about the new process.

Explanation: The auxiliary verb "did" requires the base form of the main verb
("know") rather than the past tense ("knew").

Key Rule: After "did", always use the base form of the verb

Incorrect: The information were incorrect.

Correct: The information was incorrect.

Explanation: "Information" is an uncountable noun and always takes a singular

verb like "was."

Key Rule: Use singular verbs with uncountable nouns like "information,"
"advice," or "news."

Incorrect: She is the most smartest person in the team.

Correct: She is the smartest person in the team.

Explanation: The superlative form "smartest" already implies the highest degree,
so adding "most" is redundant.
Key Rule: Do not use "most" with adjectives already in their superlative form
(e.g., smartest, tallest).

Incorrect: The report was completed by myself.

Correct: The report was completed by me.

Explanation: The word "myself" is a reflexive pronoun and should only be used
when the subject and object of the sentence are the same. Use "me" in this case.

Key Rule: Use reflexive pronouns (e.g., "myself") only when the subject performs
the action on itself.

Incorrect: This is one of those tasks that needs more time.

Correct: This is one of those tasks that need more time.

Explanation: The subject of the clause "that need more time" is "tasks," which is
plural. Therefore, the verb should be "need" instead of "needs."

Key Rule: Match the verb with the correct noun in relative clauses.

Incorrect: He suggested to take a different approach.

Correct: He suggested taking a different approach.

Explanation: After the verb "suggest," use a gerund ("taking") rather than an
infinitive ("to take").

Key Rule: Use "suggest" + gerund to propose actions.

Incorrect: Neither John or Mark were available.
Correct: Neither John nor Mark was available.

Explanation: The correct correlative pair is "neither...nor," and when referring to

two singular subjects, use a singular verb like "was."

Key Rule: Use "neither...nor" with singular verbs when subjects are singular

Incorrect: The data needs to be inputted correctly.

Correct: The data needs to be entered correctly.

Explanation: While "inputted" is technically a word, "entered" is the preferred

term in standard English for clarity and readability.

Key Rule: Use simpler, more conventional verbs like "entered" instead of
uncommon forms like "inputted."

Incorrect: He has already ran the analysis.

Correct: He has already run the analysis.

Explanation: The verb "run" has an irregular conjugation. The past participle form
is "run," not "ran." The word "ran" is used only for the simple past tense.

Key Rule: Use the past participle "run" after auxiliary verbs like "has" or "have."

Incorrect: We are looking forward for the results.

Correct: We are looking forward to the results.

Explanation: The phrase "looking forward to" is a fixed expression, where "to" is
a preposition followed by a noun or gerund. Using "for" is incorrect.
Key Rule: Always use "looking forward to" + noun/gerund.

Incorrect: The feedback was different than expected.

Correct: The feedback was different from expected.

Explanation: The standard preposition after "different" is "from," not "than."

While "than" is sometimes used informally, it is not considered correct in formal
English.

Key Rule: Use "different from" to compare two things.

Incorrect: Please refer to the document which I sent yesterday.

Correct: Please refer to the document that I sent yesterday.

Explanation: Use "that" instead of "which" when introducing a restrictive clause

(essential information to the meaning of the sentence).

Key Rule: Use "that" for restrictive clauses and "which" for non-restrictive
clauses.

Incorrect: He is good in analyzing data.

Correct: He is good at analyzing data.

Explanation: The correct preposition to follow "good" in this context is "at," as it

describes proficiency in a skill.

Key Rule: Use "good at" to describe someone's ability or skill.

Incorrect: If I was in charge, I would make changes.
Correct: If I were in charge, I would make changes.

Explanation: In hypothetical situations, the subjunctive mood requires "were"

instead of "was" after "if," regardless of the subject.

Key Rule: Use "were" in hypothetical or unreal conditional statements starting

with "if.

Incorrect: The client has gave their approval.

Correct: The client has given their approval.

Explanation: The verb "give" is irregular. Its past participle form is "given," not
"gave." The past participle is required after auxiliary verbs like "has" or "have."

Key Rule: Use the past participle ("given") after "has" or "have."

Incorrect: The number of attendees have increased.

Correct: The number of attendees has increased.

Explanation: The subject "The number" is singular, so it requires the singular verb
"has." The plural form "have" would be used if the subject were "A number of
attendees."

Key Rule: Match the verb with the singular or plural meaning of the subject. "The
number" is singular, while "A number" is plural.

Incorrect: He will return back in an hour.

Correct: He will return in an hour.
Explanation: The word "return" already means "to come back," so adding "back"
is redundant.

Key Rule: Avoid redundancy by not combining "return" with "back."

Incorrect: He is more taller than his brother.

Correct: He is taller than his brother.

Explanation: The word "taller" already expresses the comparative form. Adding
"more" is unnecessary and grammatically incorrect.

Key Rule: Do not use "more" with comparative adjectives (e.g., taller, shorter,
older).

Incorrect: I need to find out where is the issue.

Correct: I need to find out where the issue is.

Explanation: In indirect speech or embedded questions, the verb follows standard

sentence order (subject + verb), not the inversion used in direct questions.

Key Rule: Use normal word order (subject + verb) in embedded questions or
indirect speech.

Incorrect: The data needs analyzing accurately.

Correct: The data needs to be analyzed accurately.

Explanation: The structure "needs to be analyzed" is more formal and precise

than "needs analyzing." The latter is acceptable in casual British English but less
common in standard formal English.
Key Rule: Use "needs to be [verb]" for clarity and formality.

Incorrect: She is capable than most of her colleagues.

Correct: She is more capable than most of her colleagues.

Explanation: The adjective "capable" requires "more" to form a comparative, as it

is not a standard comparative adjective.

Key Rule: Use "more" with adjectives like "capable" to express comparisons.

Incorrect: He enjoys to work on challenging tasks.

Correct: He enjoys working on challenging tasks.

Explanation: The verb "enjoys" is followed by a gerund ("working") rather than

an infinitive ("to work") to indicate the action being enjoyed.​

Key Rule: Use gerunds (verb + -ing) after verbs like "enjoys."

Incorrect: The meeting is scheduled at 3 PM today.

Correct: The meeting is scheduled for 3 PM today.
Explanation: The preposition "for" is used to indicate planned timing, while "at"
specifies exact time but is not appropriate with scheduling.

Key Rule: Use "scheduled for" to indicate planned times or dates.

Incorrect: The training was divided in three sessions.

Correct: The training was divided into three sessions.
Explanation: The preposition "into" indicates transformation or distribution,
which is the intended meaning here.

Key Rule: Use "divided into" when describing separation into parts.

Incorrect: We need to finish this in one month time.

Correct: We need to finish this in one month's time.

Explanation: When referring to a specific period of time, use the possessive form
("month's") to indicate ownership of that time span.

Key Rule: Use the possessive form ("X's time") to describe specific periods.

Incorrect: I will try and complete the report by tomorrow.

Correct: I will try to complete the report by tomorrow.

Explanation: The phrase "try and" is informal and implies attempting one action
and then performing another, which is not the intended meaning. "Try to" is more
precise and formal.

Key Rule: Use "try to [verb]" for formal and accurate expressions of intent.

Incorrect: She is more experienced from her colleagues.

Correct: She is more experienced than her colleagues.

Explanation: The word "than" is used for comparisons, while "from" is incorrect
in this context.

Key Rule: Use "more [adjective] than" for comparisons.

Incorrect: It is important to take into consideration everyone's opinions.
Correct: It is important to take everyone's opinions into consideration.

Explanation: The phrase "take into consideration" requires the object

("opinions") to be inserted into the expression for correct placement.

Key Rule: Use "take [object] into consideration" for proper word order.

Incorrect: This task is more easier compared to the previous one.

Correct: This task is easier compared to the previous one.

Explanation: The adjective "easier" is already in comparative form, so "more" is

redundant and incorrect.

Key Rule: Do not use "more" with adjectives already in their comparative for

Incorrect: He was appreciated due to his efforts.

Correct: He was appreciated for his efforts.

Explanation: The preposition "due to" indicates a cause or reason but is not used
to describe the basis for appreciation. The correct preposition in this context is
"for," which indicates the reason behind the appreciation.​

Key Rule: Use "appreciated for" to express recognition for actions or qualities.

Incorrect: There is a lot of informations in this report.

Correct: There is a lot of information in this report.
Explanation: The word "information" is uncountable and does not take a plural
form ("informations").

Key Rule: Use "information" as an uncountable noun without pluralization.

Incorrect: He is senior than her in the company.

Correct: He is more senior than her in the company.

Explanation: The adjective "senior" requires the use of "more" when making a
comparison. Simply adding "than" is not sufficient.

Key Rule: Use "more [adjective] than" for comparisons with adjectives like
"senior."

Incorrect: She quickly adapted herself to the new role.

Correct: She quickly adapted to the new role.

Explanation: The verb "adapt" does not require a reflexive pronoun ("herself")
when describing someone adjusting to a situation.

Key Rule: Do not use a reflexive pronoun with "adapt" unless there is a specific
need to emphasize self-direction.

Incorrect: We discussed the matter in details.

Correct: We discussed the matter in detail.

Explanation: The phrase "in detail" is idiomatic and correct. The plural "details" is
not used in this context.

Key Rule: Use "in detail" to describe thorough or specific discussion.

Incorrect: She is working since last year on this project.
Correct: She has been working on this project since last year.

Explanation: The present perfect continuous tense ("has been working") is

required when describing an action that started in the past and continues to the
present.

Key Rule: Use "has/have been [verb + -ing]" with "since" or "for" to describe
ongoing actions.

Incorrect: The project requires to finish on time.

Correct: The project requires finishing on time.

Explanation: The verb "require" is followed by a gerund ("finishing") rather than

an infinitive ("to finish") when specifying an action needed to be performed.

Key Rule: Use gerunds (verb + -ing) after "require" to describe necessary actions.

Incorrect: Everyone should bring their own laptops to the meeting.

Correct: Everyone should bring his or her own laptop to the meeting.

Explanation: The pronoun "Everyone" is singular and must agree with singular
possessive pronouns ("his or her") and singular nouns ("laptop").

Key Rule: Match singular pronouns and nouns with singular antecedents like
"everyone."
Incorrect: I prefer tea more than coffee.
Correct: I prefer tea to coffee.

Explanation: The correct construction with "prefer" is "prefer [something] to

[something else]" rather than "more than."

Key Rule: Use "prefer X to Y" when expressing preferences between two options.

Incorrect: He suggested us to start early.

Correct: He suggested that we start early.

Explanation: The verb "suggest" does not take an indirect object ("us") followed
by an infinitive. Instead, it is followed by a "that" clause or a gerund.

Key Rule: Use "suggest that [subject] [verb]" or "suggest [gerund]" for correct
sentence construction.

Incorrect: We cannot afford to loose this opportunity.

Correct: We cannot afford to lose this opportunity.

Explanation: The word "loose" means "not tight" and is incorrect in this context.
The correct verb is "lose," meaning "to fail to keep or miss."

Key Rule: Use "lose" to describe failure to retain something.

Incorrect: The office is besides the main building.

Correct: The office is beside the main building.

Explanation: The word "beside" means "next to," while "besides" means "in
addition to." Here, "beside" is the correct word to indicate location.
Key Rule: Use "beside" to describe physical proximity and "besides" to indicate an
additional point.

Incorrect: We have been informed regarding the changes.

Correct: We have been informed about the changes.

Explanation: The preposition "regarding" is more formal and less common in

conversational English. "About" is preferred to indicate the subject of the
information.

Key Rule: Use "informed about" to specify what the information pertains to.

Incorrect: He is the one who we spoke to yesterday.

Correct: He is the one whom we spoke to yesterday.

Explanation: "Whom" is the correct pronoun in this context, as it functions as the

object of the verb "spoke to." However, in informal usage, "who" is often
accepted.

Key Rule: Use "whom" when referring to the object of a verb or preposition in
formal English.

Incorrect: I have less experience in this area as compared to him.

Correct: I have less experience in this area compared to him.

Explanation: The phrase "as compared to" is redundant. "Compared to" is

sufficient to convey the comparison.
Key Rule: Use "compared to" without adding "as" for concise and clear
comparisons.

Incorrect: Please submit the reports by end of the week.

Correct: Please submit the reports by the end of the week.

Explanation: The definite article "the" is required before "end" to specify the time
frame.

Key Rule: Use "by the end of [time period]" to indicate deadlines.

Incorrect: The new equipment was setup quickly.

Correct: The new equipment was set up quickly.

Explanation: "Setup" is a noun (e.g., "The setup was efficient"), while "set up" is
the correct phrasal verb for describing the action.

Key Rule: Use "set up" as a verb and "setup" as a noun.

Incorrect: The manager expressed his concern on the matter.

Correct: The manager expressed his concern about the matter.

Explanation: The preposition "about" is correct for describing the topic of

concern. "On" is incorrect in this context.

Correct: Neither of the solutions is effective.
Explanation: "Neither" is singular and must take a singular verb ("is") despite
referring to two items.

Key Rule: Treat "neither" as singular and pair it with a singular verb.

Incorrect: He is one of those managers who is always on time.

Correct: He is one of those managers who are always on time.

Explanation: The clause "who are always on time" refers to "those managers,"
which is plural, so the verb must agree in number and use "are."

Key Rule: Ensure verb agreement with the noun that the relative pronoun "who"
refers to.

Incorrect: Please share your thoughts about the proposal with the team.
Correct: Please share your thoughts on the proposal with the team.

Explanation: While "about" and "on" can sometimes overlap, "on" is more
precise and preferred when discussing specific topics like a proposal.

Correct: She is confident in her abilities.

Explanation: The correct preposition with "confident" in this context is "in,"

goal.

objects.

Incorrect: We are behind of schedule at the moment.

Correct: We are behind schedule at the moment.

Incorrect: Let's aim to complete this task within the next two days.
Correct: Let's aim to complete this task in the next two days.

people or welfare.

phrase.

Incorrect: He didn't attend neither the meeting nor the training session.
Correct: He attended neither the meeting nor the training session.
